Abhijeet, according to me, your aggregate is 38% marks which are below 40% marks and hence I think you aren’t eligible. I think you should consider repeating 12th exam. It is called Improvement exam in CBSE board.

If here “venue” means Test Centers, then expect the notification by December 2017. For a general idea of test cities, consider NEET 2017 official notification. Normally, only 1 or 2 cities are added or removed every year.

We can’t tell you with certainty, however, annual family income bracket will most likely be asked at least once during the complete admission process.

Your DOB falls between 8th May 1993 and 1st Jan 2002 which makes you eligible. Apart from the age factor, you must have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English in 12th standard. If you have studied these subjects then, I think you are eligible for NEET 2018.

However, I still advise you to read the official NEET 2018 information Brochure, whenever it is released.

Sir .
I am a Foreign student. I am eligible by age and marks of my 12th.i want to know about NEET UG 2018 . which quota and catagory i ll get ? Nd as a foreign student how much marks i hav to obtain to get a good gov medical college ?

The age limit ruling by SC last year was for NEET 2017 only. According to a recent TimesNow article, it is likely that the 25 years age limit might be removed. However, at this point in time, nothing concrete can be commented regarding the age issue..
